Approach: Well it was the last week of my independent study and I know that i won't be able to finish the animation in time--but that's okay! I want to keep working on it as I see fit; and unfortunately I have found more and more errors in the seamless-ness of the animation that I am attempting to create. It's made a good amount of headache for me to go back and fix all these little errors, but every time I fix one I seem to find another. Oh well, such is the life of an animator! Choices Made: I think that for this next week and the following few weeks of the summer I'l be continuing to animate this piece for myself. I want to see it through, I think right now is a matter of fixing the small issues so that I can actually move forward. Some things I learned from working in loops:
Inspirational Sources: I really can't get enough of Ori Toor. His animation style and his tenacity to figure out how using a small piece of animation can become a larger entity is always intriguing. If I look here at this animation, I only see about 9-10 different loops, but layering them in a way with a slight offset in the timing of the animation makes it look almost like a living/breathing creature.
Next Steps: I will be continuing my work with the animation if I find more time during the summer to do so--it will probably become a weekend project depending on how it has been going to far. I am really pleased with the amount of progress that I have completed with it, and the information from the sources that I initially proposed have proven pretty useful in working towards sources for my thesis; even though the animation in this project doesn't necessarily pertain to my thesis-it was more an exercise in experimenting in loops. -Taylor Olsen Comments are closed.
